Andrew, first of all, see if you can get the little old man in the corner of the room that does your flash programming, to do some sort of writeup on the specifics of the development environment he uses, so we can come close to working under the same conditions. I know Rayz isn't very enthusiastic about explaining the inner workings of his flash apps, but it sure would help if he published a few articles about them, so the rest of us can have a clue. This would be a real good time for him to do see more that.

Next, go back to that chat page of mine, and click on the Settings icon. Some clues as to why the button text has missing characters would help. I believe it has something to do with your flash apps using some strange font. I can't figure it out, but then working with flash isn't one of my strong points... as a matter of fact, that chat skin is only the second thing I've ever worked on. The sounds player was the first, and it too has some mysterious issues... like why I can't change the look of the volume control.

As far as making everything compatible with the mobile web, why don't you just use JW Player to play media, instead of reinventing the wheel. JW Player does everything you want it to do right now. Visit this page on your iPhone.. it's a video hosted on my own site: http://houstonlively.com/blogs/entry/Iphone-Demo-Video

Replace the sounds player and the video player with this, and you can quickly take a leap forward with a lot less work than starting from scratch. Then we'd only have to worry about skinning the chat app.
